Buzz Feiten

Buzz got his big break in New York City in 1967 when he got the opportunity to jam with Eric Clapton during Slowhand’s 1967 first visit to the USA with supergroup Cream. This experience helped qualify Feiten, now increasingly seen as a ‘wunderkind’, to join the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. With Butterfield, Buzz toured internationally, and played such famous gigs as the Atlantic City Pop Festival and the legendary Woodstock Festival, polishing his ‘chops’ on rhythm ‘n’ blues. Buzz has played with such artists as The Rascals, Bob Dylan, Gregg Allman, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Stevie Wonder, James Taylor, Dave Weckl and many more. His discography reads like a who’s who of the music business through the last four decades.
